PCI/MSI: Export MSI mode using attributes, not kobjects
The PCI MSI sysfs code is a mess with kobjects for things that don't really need to be kobjects. This patch creates attributes dynamically for the MSI interrupts instead of using kobjects. Note, this removes a directory from sysfs. Old MSI kobjects: pci_device └── msi_irqs    └── 40    └── mode New MSI attributes: pci_device └── msi_irqs    └── 40 As there was only one file "mode" with the kobject model, the interrupt number is now a file that returns the "mode" of the interrupt (msi vs. msix).

Description:
The /sys/devices/.../msi_irqs directory contains a variable set
- of sub-directories, with each sub-directory being named after a
- corresponding msi irq vector allocated to that device. Each
- numbered sub-directory N contains attributes of that irq.
- Note that this directory is not created for device drivers which
- do not support msi irqs
+ of files, with each file being named after a corresponding msi
+ irq vector allocated to that device.
